Aquamation: A Gentle, Sustainable Goodbye
At Endswell, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is one of the most personal moments in life. That’s why we offer aquamation, a gentle and eco-friendly alternative to traditional cremation.
As one of the few providers of aquamation in North Carolina, Endswell is committed to offering a service that not only honors your loved one’s memory but also reflects a deep respect for the environment.
Our aquamation process, also known as water cremation, allows for a dignified farewell that minimizes environmental impact. With significantly less energy consumption and no harmful emissions, aquamation offers families a sustainable way to honor their loved one.
The Aquamation Process: Respectful and Eco-Friendly
Aquamation is a water-based process that uses a solution of water and alkaline to gently break down the body, mimicking the natural decomposition that occurs in the earth. In contrast to traditional cremation, which uses high temperatures and produces greenhouse gases, aquamation requires only a tiny fraction of the energy and releases no harmful emissions.
Step 1:
Transportation
We safely transport your loved one to our Chapel Hill aquamation facility.
Step 2:
Preparation
Necessary paperwork is completed, and the body is placed into the aquamation chamber.
Step 3:
Aquamation
A gentle flow of water and alkaline transforms the body, returning it to its natural elements.
Step 4:
Finalizing
After 3-5 hours, the process is complete, and the bone remains are carefully collected.
Step 5:
Returning the Urn
The remains, in the form of bone dust, are returned to you in an eco-friendly urn. Or you may explore our urn gallery for a one-of-a-kind creation.
